The aim of this study is to report on the use of cervical stimulation as monotherapy to reduce swelling and normalize the size of limbs in two children with lymphedema of all four extremities.\n                    <jats:italic>Case Presentation<\/jats:italic>\n                    . One child also had hemifacial edema. In both cases, the mothers were trained to perform cervical stimulation under professional supervision. The cases of two girls, one of eight months and the other of six months, with primary congenital lymphedema are described.\n                    <jats:italic>Outcome<\/jats:italic>\n                    . After clinical diagnosis, the patients started treatment with cervical stimulation three times per week. The mothers were trained in cervical stimulation and, when the therapy team was confident about the mothers\u2019 ability to perform the technique, the children began to be treated at home. The Godoy &amp; Godoy cervical stimulation technique consists of around 20 to 30 light stroking movements per minute in the cervical region which stimulate the lymphatics. Perimetric measurements were made of the feet, legs, and the hands. Only two points (3 and 6\u2009cm) along the dorsum of the feet and hands and points at 5\u2009cm intervals up the legs starting at the ankle were considered. Today, the children are 5 and 6 years of age, without edema and with a normal life, without limitations, except with respect to precautions against injuries to the limbs and against infections particularly erysipelas.\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Cervical Lymphatic Therapy as monotherapy is an option in the treatment of primary congenital lymphedema.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/9724524","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,28]],"date-time":"2017-02-28T19:58:59Z","timestamp":1488311939000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Cervical Stimulation in the Treatment of Children with Lymphedema of All Four Extremities: A Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"given":"Livia Maria","family":"Pereira de Godoy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Pereira de Godoy Capeletto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5424-7787","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Maria","family":"Pereira de Godoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3725-7961","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"de F\u00e1tima Guerreiro Godoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_2","first-page":"541","article-title":"Diagnosis and treatment of primary lymphedema consensus document of the international union of phlebology (IUP)-2013","volume":"32","author":"Lee B.
